After entering Falk City, Thor's tense spirit was noticeably relaxed, and with his brisk pace, you could feel that he was in a good mood.

Thor took Jian Lu to walk in Falk City, his legs were short, and he didn't walk fast, and along the way, it could also allow Jian Lu to better observe the environment and structure of Falk City. In addition, Jian Lu, who was wearing a black cloak, walked with him, and the huge height disparity between the two also attracted the attention of the residents of Fork City.

Dressed in a black cloak, half-covering his face, and obviously superior in height, he is very attractive. If it weren't for Thor leading the way in front, it might have received more attention.

However, it was just a concern, and it didn't cause anything else.

"Thor, you're finally back." A reddish-brown man with the same animal print on his face greeted Thor, "You've been around all day, and Leia is going to be worried that we're going to go out of town to find you." ”

"Jeffers, I'm fine." Thor obviously didn't want to say more, just smiled.

The man named Jeffers smiled heartily, but when he looked at the person walking behind Thor, there was no smile in his eyes, but a little wary, and he asked casually, "Thor, is this your friend?" He's so tall! He said in an exclamatory tone, with some meaning in his eyes.

"Yes, I met him in the wilderness, and he saved me."

Jeffers' gaze changed slightly, and he and Thor said a few words, because it was late and it was dinner time, and the two of them said goodbye to each other and left.

Thor led Jane Lu through several streets, the alleys became narrower and dirtier, and there was a foul smell in the air, but Thor looked natural, and of course he was average. It wasn't until a more cramped alley that we finally arrived at our destination.

"This is where we third-class residents live, please take a moment." Thor explained to Jian Lu in a whisper, he thought of Jian Lu as a pure human magician from the legendary continent, seeing that he had not spoken, his heart was also hanging, thinking of the fate of those races from the legendary continent after arriving in this place, his mood was a little complicated.

It was nearly evening, but there was no sun in this place, and naturally there was no such thing as a sunset, and the light in the cramped alleys was a little dim, and some half-naked children could be faintly seen chasing and playing there, and when they ran past them, they would greet Thor sweetly, and then look at him with curious eyes.

In addition to curiosity, the child's eyes were also a little wary.

The wide hood covered his face, revealing a beautiful nose and beautiful but pale lips, and a clean and beautiful jaw with a cold taste, perhaps because his skin was too pale, but it also shocked those people a little, so all the way over, although some people were curious about Jian Lu's identity, they didn't come to investigate.

Although Jian Lu's person dressed like this is mysterious, it is not uncommon in Fork City, so everyone is vigilant, but they don't care too much.

Thor led Jian Lu to a small stone house deep in the alley, and with Jian Lu's height, he had to bend slightly when entering. Along the way, Jian Lu noticed that most of the humans on the street were short, although there were also those of the same normal height as him, but there were not many, and it was obvious that the area where they were active was not here.

He heard the words "third-class resident" from Thor's repeated pronunciation, and couldn't help but wonder what it meant, could it be that third-class residents were referring to people like Thor with strange skin and height similar to dwarves? And what about second-class and first-class residents?

"Thor, you're back?"

A faint voice sounded in the room, which was very dark, and only a small oil lamp was lit, and under the lamp sat a wheat-skinned woman, about forty years of age, blind in one eye, but with a very natural expression. According to Thor, this is his mother, Leia.

Jian Lu performed a mage salute to the woman.

"You're Thor's friend?" Leia couldn't see in one eye, and the other eye was a little cloudy, and she could only vaguely see the other person's long and tall shadow in the light. Knowing that Jian Lu was her son's life-saving benefactor, Leia was very enthusiastic and busy asking her son to entertain his friends, and at the same time taking out the family's food stock to entertain the other party.

Jian Lu looked at the boiled insect meat in the bowl, how it tasted was debatable, and silently glanced at Thor.

With just a glance, Jian Lu guessed the situation of this small family, maybe the living standard of the third-class residents of Fox City was not high, and it could even be said that they were struggling with food and clothing. Their staple food is the meat of the demon insects hunted outside the city, and the magic core of the demon worms can be used as a universal currency and weapon energy.

Leia took out the worm meat to entertain him, which was already a specification for treating distinguished guests.

It's just that Jian Lu remembered the strange demon insects he encountered along the way, and he really had no appetite.

Thor didn't know how he could see what this cold human magician meant, but at that moment, he understood what this person meant, and he didn't like the meat of demon insects, so he hurriedly picked up a bowl of insect meat on the table and led Jian Lu into a room.

"This is my room, where you can rest." Thor said.

This stone house has only two rooms, originally Thor, his mother Leia, mother and son, one room, but now because of Jian Lu, Thor gave up his room to Jian Lu, and he went to his mother's room to make a bunk.

The room was small, with a lot of miscellaneous stuff piled up on the floor except for a bed and a small cupboard. Thor looked at the human magician who had pulled his hood down, his handsome and cold appearance was out of step with the small mess here, and the young man couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you."

The voice was cold to Thor's ears, but the tone was very different from theirs, and there was a smooth melody in the key. The first thing that came to Thor's mind was that he wasn't dumb. The second is that he really came from the mainland, so he can speak a fluent lingua franca, and this fluent lingua franca is said to be only circulated among the nobles on the central city side.

Jian Lu glanced at Thor, and judging by his reaction, he didn't seem surprised by his words.

After Thor went out, Jian Lu sat on the only clean bed in the room, and began to think about this strange place, and what he was going to do.

There is no doubt that he will first find Hines and then find a way to leave this place and return to the continent of Olawen.

What they had seen and heard during their solo trip for half a month made Jian Lu guess that they might have been teleported to a different dimension in the distorted spatial teleportation and had left the Olawen Continent. It wasn't until he met Thor and what he saw and heard after coming to Fork City confirmed his suspicions.

At that time, when he came out of the spatial teleportation channel, Jian Lu was tied to Hines, and Hines should also be in this other space continent, as for why the two were separated, it may be that there was some teleportation array where they were at that time, or a natural disaster that swept him away from that desert or something.

As long as he knew that Hines was also in this space, Jian Lu was a little relieved.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was an itch in my throat, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and cough a few times, my throat was sweet, and I coughed up a mouthful of black-red bruises. Looking at the blood on his palms, Jian Lu had a hunch that there was a harmful substance in the air in this place, and from the time he came to this world, his body happened to be hit hard, and that harmful substance was eroding his body, making his body not only not good, but gradually worsening.

Because of this, after a long day of heavy rain, he will get sick so easily, and it will be difficult to get sick for several days.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't leave this place, his body would continue to deteriorate.

Thinking of this, Jian Lu sighed again, and sure enough, he wanted to find Hines and leave this unknown alien space.

In the middle of the night, Jian Lu woke up from meditation, first felt a vibration from the ground, and then a sharp alarm sounded in the city. He jumped to his feet and pushed open the door, and saw Thor rushing out of the next room, putting on his clothes, busy but not disorganized, obviously accustomed to the situation.

When he saw Jian Lu come out, he was a little surprised in his eyes, surprised by the vigilance of this human magician.

However, it was also the first time he had come into contact with a human magician from the Legendary Continent, and the others had just listened to legends, and he didn't know what this kind of human magician was like, so it wasn't too strange.

"Your Excellency, it's the Demon Worm attacking the city." Thor picked up the sword on the wall and hung it on his body, and explained to Jian Lu, "The demon insects will attack the city every few days, just repel them, the walls of Fork City are very strong, don't worry." ”

Jian Lu did not speak, but carefully identified his accent and the meaning of his words.

Leia came out of the room and said worriedly, "Thor, be careful. ”

"Don't worry, Leia, I'll be careful, and I can bring back our food for a few days tomorrow." Thor said and ran out.

Jian Lu pulled up his hood and followed out.

There was no moonlight outside, there was darkness all around, in addition to the sound of battle in the distance, there were many human running footsteps, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone's heartstrings were tense in this atmosphere. Although Thor and Jian Lu explained easily, his reaction was not easy.

As soon as you exit the alley, you can see magic lamps hanging above the city walls, illuminating all around.

On the road, soldiers with magic swords shouted and told the residents who had escaped to go to the city walls to meet them. Under the shouting of the soldiers, those third-class residents also consciously went up to the city wall, in an orderly manner, as if they had experienced it a thousand times.

Jian Lu was mixed among the third-class residents, and he didn't attract much attention because of the tense atmosphere, and even if he did, because the situation was urgent now, no one would come to investigate and observe. He followed Thor to the city wall with the Jack Ford he had seen during the day, and when he saw the scene below the city wall, Rao was a little surprised that Jian Lu had seen a lot.

On the dark desert, countless red eyes lit up, which are the compound eyes of demon insects, teaching people to see more clearly in the dark. Under the light of the city wall, you can also see the demon insects that are quickly climbing along the wall to the city wall, and when they climb up, they are killed by the people who are guarding there.

In addition to the soldiers who specialized in defending the city, those third-class residents with different skin colors and animal prints on their faces were still very strong, they obviously dealt with these demon insects from time to time, and knew the weaknesses of various varieties of demon insects, and the weapons in their hands could easily stab the weak points of the demon insects and kill them.

Jian Lu was watching this battle between humans and demon insects, when he suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation, and his eyes looked at the darkness in the desert, where there seemed to be a dangerous thing lurking there, making his heart feel a dangerous tremble.

With a slight chill in his heart, Jian Lu realized the danger of this desert, and couldn't help but be a little glad that he had been walking alone in the desert for half a month, except for some pervasive demon insects, which did not let him encounter any major crises, so that he could walk here safely and enter the human city.

Jian Lu's spirit was stretched to the extreme, the unknown creature whose spiritual power had been locked in the dark, and the constant vibrations from under the city made him unable to distinguish for a while whether it was caused by those demonic insects attacking the city, or the dangerous creature lurking in the darkness in the distance.

Jian Lu opened the system map, the dense red dots were simply numb, and the three-dimensional system map also showed the red dot lurking underground, because it was not marked, he couldn't be sure if this red dot was the king worm of a magic worm.

Thankfully, the battle continued until dawn, and the sense of danger that made his skin shiver faded and he didn't attack. And the battle on the city wall is also coming to an end, those demon insects are dead, fleeing, the insect corpses are piled up at the foot of the city wall, and the strong fishy smell wafts with the air, which makes people sick.

But everyone was not uncomfortable, but looked at the insect corpses in that place and was very excited.

Jeffok spat rudely and said to the people around him, "The number of demon worms coming to attack the city tonight is the largest in the past few months, are these demon worms all crazy?" He felt in his heart that something was not normal about this situation.

"What does it matter? With so many insect corpses, as long as you can get a little bit, you don't have to go out of the city to hunt for half a month. His companion said disapprehantly.

Thor was also very happy, "I found that among these demon insects, there are several insect flesh that taste very good, Leia has a bad appetite recently, she needs to make up for it, I'll change some with you later." ”

"Okay."

A group of people chatted while dealing with the remaining demon insects, and from their tired and excited looks, it was clear that they were extremely happy about this, and they were all looking forward to the harvest after the battle.

Until the sky was slightly bright, and the demon insects under the wall also retreated, finally a soldier opened the city gate, and organized people to carry the corpses of the demon insects piled under the city wall into the city, everyone who participated in the battle had a share, and there was a set of standards, and no one had any quarrels and robbing behaviors, which should also be related to the group of soldiers guarding there next to them.

Jian Lu stood in an inconspicuous corner, his eyes swept over the piles of mountain-like demon insects in the clearing, each pile of demon insect corpses was guarded by special soldiers in front of the mountain, and the third-class residents who participated in the battle were assigned insect corpses and insect cores. The soldiers were obviously different from the third-class inhabitants, although they also had animal prints on their faces, but the shape of the beast patterns was more graceful and smooth, and their skin tones were closer to those of humans, rather than the colorful ones like Thor.

These soldiers were supposed to be the so-called "second-class residents".

And what about first-class residents? Is it closer to what a pure human being?

And above the first-class residents, is there a nobleman's deposit? The nobility should have more resources and weapons at their disposal in order to rule over this group of first, second, and third class residents.

Jian Lu analyzed silently, until Thor received his share of the magic worm and returned to Thor's house with him.

****

In the center of Fox City, in the depths of the main hall where the City Lord's Mansion was located, the sorcerer who was divining suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his expression instantly became sluggish, and some of his loose skin revealed a dull twilight, obviously this divination was extremely dangerous to his body.

"Your Excellency Amitelle!" The tall man next to him exclaimed.

The sorcerer, known as "Amitel", seemed to be a few years old, with a pair of eyes with deep bags half-drooping, one hand pressed on the divination stone on the ground, and a look of horror gradually appeared on his languishing face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Frian, the lord of Falk City, picked up the potion next to him, personally served the sorcerer and took the potion, looking at him with a worried expression.

The sorcerer sat with his eyes closed for a while, and only after a while did he open his eyes, look at the tall man in front of him, and sigh deeply.

"Your Excellency, what the hell is wrong? Is it related to the sudden attack of the demon worm last night? Frian asked with some puzzlement, although the demon worm came suddenly last night, but this situation has happened in the past, and in the end, there is no danger, whether it is the residents of the city or them, they are used to it.

Therefore, he didn't quite understand why, when it was almost dawn, the sorcerer who had been living in the depths of the main hall suddenly called him over, and then began to do divination, and finally suffered damage because of the backlash.

The sorcerer nodded, his voice a little desolate, "Frian, I don't know if this is God's will, or if God has abandoned us once again. The sorcerer's gaze fell on the outside of the main hall, as if looking through the heavy temple door to the overcast sky above the city of Fork.

Frian was silent, he was too young, he had lived here since he was born, until he became the lord of Fork City, managing this city that was not too powerful, withstanding the pressure from demon insects and the same kind, treating it as his own responsibility, and not feeling the sorrow of the sorcerer.

"Frian, the demon worm attacked the city last night, I felt a huge danger, it should be a king worm that came out of the demon forest, fortunately the king worm did not make a move at that time, otherwise the city of Furk would be in ruins."

"Impossible, right?" Frian was also a little shocked, obviously not convinced, "The trajectory of the demon worm has always been traceable, and the king worm has always lived in the distant demon forest, they have abundant food and resources, they don't look down on human settlements, and they will not leave the demon forest." After thinking about it, Frian continued: "It's the magic forest where the central main city is located, not only is it coveted by demon insects, but even the Saktor people are also looking at it, but the environment of Fury City is too bad and the resources are not rich, so there is no Saktor people who want to attack it. ”

The sorcerer listened to the castle lord with his eyes half-closed, and when he finished speaking, the sorcerer shook his head.

"Friyan, half a month ago, I sensed from my divination that a powerful force that did not belong to the Lost Lands appeared without warning." The sorcerer said slowly, "Presumably, the great witch of the central main city should also have sensed it, but then that powerful force has been hidden, and it is impossible to predict its existence, so this matter has not been revealed." ”

The sorcerer said, sighing again, "For the past half a month, it has been dormant, although we don't know what it is, but since it has not moved, we all think it is safe for the time being." Until last night, the demon insect attacked the city, and the power of the insect king who peeked in the shadows made me feel the terrible power of that power. ”

"The insect kings of the demon insects have been living in the demon forest, and the demon forest has the power they rely on to survive, so that they have been avoided, if they leave the demon forest, it will be a fatal blow to their strength and lifespan, which is also set by the gods for the balance of this continent. But now, the king insects in the Demon Forest have abandoned their place and power to live and go into the desert, do you know why? ”

Frian had a bad premonition in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

"Naturally, the mysterious and powerful existence from outside this continent broke the balance set by the gods back then, forcing the king insects to dare not stay in the Demon Forest anymore." The sorcerer sighed in his heart, his expression becoming more and more desolate and sad, "This time, not only was I unable to divination, but I was even counterattacked, which shows that the existence of that thing is strong enough to interfere with divination. ”

Frian's scalp tingled and he swallowed his saliva, "Wizard, you mean, maybe another force has appeared in this world, even enough to break the existing pattern of the Lost Lands and reshuffle the entire Lost Lands?" ”

"No, it could have been worse." The sorcerer whispered.

Frian's expression changed a few times, and he asked again: "Wizard, can the central main city find out this powerful existence in advance and use it for us?" Can this avoid ......"

The sorcerer smiled slightly, as if laughing at his naïve childishness, but he didn't hit him, but said, "You don't have to worry too much, in fact, it's still the central main city that you have to worry about, the main city occupies the best resources, and you also have to worry about the threat from the demon forest." ”

As he spoke, he moved a piece of divination stone in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, a qiē is still to be discussed......
